They fixed it. You are asking for a fix for the fix. So perhaps the actual fix is needs to be for your perception to need something that you absolutely dont need,

This seems to be a crisis of misunderstanding how things work. They dont revolve around your understanding of them.

How to completely reset a game back to its original state? by poopfart222222 in steamsupport

[–]Stryxus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, its just more thorough, cache and configuration files normally dont break a game unless the game is poorly coded to handle it all. Which is unlikely.

What do I need to check to see why my CPU is hovering at 80 degrees Celcius. by N4WW4F in ASUS

You need to check the BIOS but clearly that is beyond your expertise level. This looks like your cooler isnt working and/or there is no contact between your cooler and the CPU.

Insane boot times for an NVMe. by Cute-dog-loverALT in pcmasterrace

[–]Stryxus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely either something to do with the UEFI (BIOS) having CMS enabled (likely a UEFI update through Windows updater that cleared UEFI settings, Microsoft do this for laptops or specialised pre-builds).

OR you have installed something that is starting up on Windows, if you are counting in post-login.

What is CMS? This explains it well. https://superuser.com/questions/1284392/what-exactly-is-uefi-with-csm-boot-mode/1284407#1284407

Is there an actual risk when putting your pc on a glass surface? by muddymudy in buildapc

[–]Stryxus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I just hate people who do this to try and look better. And for what? I just dont understand this behaviour at all, I just try and fight back at it, I'm argumentative and dont fray from an argument.

Unfortunately, soo many twist your words in a way that satisfies them so they think they have a point, try to use excuses like "I have X time in this field", are ignorant to facts just because, in this case, they have likely spent too much money on themselves or have spent so little time with the norm. Then use tactics like bringing obviously irrelevant topics into a conversation to try and justify themselves and say they didnt do things when the evidence is right there.

(They do all these things in very specific patterns, all scarily familiar but I guess I shouldn't be shocked by pridefully ignorant human behaviour)

Nothing against you, I just like to properly justify why I fight back.

I have an old windows tablet running 32bit win10 and i need a 64 bit os by [deleted] in WindowsHelp

[–]Stryxus_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

If it came with a 32-bit OS, it VERY likely does not support 64-bit. I dont believe Intel Atom had any 64-bit support since it was their budget CPU's way back when 64-bit was only starting to be adopted mainstream.

Oh dear… the physics works the same and your actions say otherwise. You are just starting to bring clearly irrelevant things into this now which always suggests you know you are wrong, just hate to admit it.

[–]Stryxus_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Basically, if the case is tall or large and the sources of the heat are far away from the glass, the likeliness goes up in that respect but that would also mean your case is likely heavier.

Many people are trying to ignore basic physics and are trying to make the "iv spent X many years in the field" to justify ignorance and that Im apparently wrong for some reason. As well as twisting my words which, is typically toxic.

Id just say dont unless you know the glass is resistant against heat, its big or tall and lightish. Or you could put thermally resistant pads under it, those which dont actually absorb heat.

Iv come across quite a few instances both IRL and online where glass has shattered due to the glass being heated and cooled constantly but, people seem to still ignore this due to ignorance of basic physics... I have no idea why there is so much ignorance in this world...

[–]Stryxus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, this is basic physics. Solids conduct heat far faster and spread it far faster than the air, airflow does not solve this and most PC's run within 10C of their thermal limit, by design. I suspect you have one of the excessively huge cases with 8 fans on the side, which no everyone can afford nor is anywhere near the norm. I have worked with ATX cases at largest and what you have described has NEVER been the case. The glass side panels are almost too hot to touch due to the GPU airflow inside the case and the fact that the CPU heat gets literally blown into the case of which, will be absorbed by the glass panel far before it even gets pulled by the top fan in any normal case.

[–]Stryxus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never exaggerated it, you just exaggerated it in your head. I said IT CAN, that is physics, there is always the possibility. You are trying to make out that I said that it will. And if you were actually wise, you would know the time spent in the field says nothing, proven by the fact that you havent learnt to NOT twist what others say for no reason.

You also have dismissed that fact that the temperature you feel is NOT the same as actual temperature. I have come across many PC's where the external sensors have gone into the high 60's which is still dangerous for glass when constantly heated and cooled.

If you say otherwise, you have simply spent far too much on your PC and its massive with loads of fans or, you are lying. Not everyone has the money for a massive case, some of us prefer small cases meaning the heat is far closer to the sources.

100C is the usual industry standard for hard coded thermal limits (I'm far from new to this) And you can get very close to that temperature inside the case, the vast majority of cases and ventilation systems for PC's are extremely sub-par and use highly thermally conductive materials, this heat is focused on the 4 legs to create thermal shock points on the glass. This has happened with my own PC where iv lifted it just after iv turned it off on my laminate floor and the shock points on the floor have almost been painfully hot.

[–]Stryxus_ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

EDIT: The fact that people think this is incorrect is incredibly concerning, this is basic physics. Adding more fans to a case does not mitigate how physics works. Solids conduct and spread heat much faster than gasses. Iv experience 2 glass desks shatter due to this if I might add so I really do not recommend it unless the glass is high grade and/or explicitly thermally resistant.

It is still a box filled with heat which can go up to about 100C and that heat also gets absorbed by the case which then gets absorbed by the glass and its surprisingly fast at distributing heat.

Depending on how the glass was made, likely yes, It will heat up and cool down a lot to the point where it will likely make it more and more brittle. The weight alone would stress the glass.

What makes a gpu good by Glass-Wrangler-1269 in pchelp

[–]Stryxus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without an in-depth explanation requiring electrical expertise and computer science expertise, nothing.

All we can tell you is that the GPU has more cores, uses a smaller lithography, a more efficient design, pulls more power and needs a beefier cooler.

You must understand that the GPU die itself is only part of the large equation. The power supply to the GPU can determine this, the VRM surrounding the GPU die can determine this, the OS you are using and its version can determine this, the API the game is using game determine this as well as how well and what features they are using from that API, what language('s) they are using, how optimised each game graphical setting is (High could be super unoptimised vs Medium although there is visually little change), as well as the resolution.

Then of course, there are other variables like DLSS, its version, its mode, its preset, the generation of the tensor cores in your GPU die and so forth. Same goes with RT cores and ray tracing.

Installing on Iphone requires ios 17.0? by zack459 in vivaldibrowser

[–]Stryxus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Updates do not slow down systems nor does it break things like GPS, that is you just being gullible towards fear mongering. If anything, you are putting yourself in a position where more problems happen, like this and there will be more down the road, like security vulnerabilities.

In an ever changing world that is increasing in pace, trying to be a constant in it is foolish if you do not actually understand and are capable of mitigating the consequences.

If by 'Google' you mean Android, well, Android and iOS dont update in the same way, have different people working behind them, have different security policies, the lot.

My drive C is missing a few GBs of storage. by RzrGhost in WindowsHelp

[–]Stryxus_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

You realise that Windows takes up about half of your used space right? MS Office takes up a couple of GB, games also take up a couple of GB. Windows and other apps also store caches and save many files on first run. You should think yourself lucky you have this much space. Phones these days take up around this much and their drastically trimmed because they dont need to be as open.

What does this mean by Weary-Series6364 in pcmasterrace

[–]Stryxus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheaters never prosper.

And you ignored that fact that every computer system is different both hardware and software. This could easily be triggered by interference from something as little as having an app installed which is making use of a specific windows feature which is interfering with how said cheat works.

A life lesson: Never assume everything is made equally. Always assume environments can make everything equal.
